[Zhongyingmei] That snake

Chapter 44 Case 5 7

Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, Park.

"Unsub is completely different from our previous profile." Will said, he had just left the state of empathy, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"What did you think?" Hannibal walked to his side.

"He has very indifferent feelings for the victims, no disgust, no compassion like the angel maker." Will tilted his head slightly, his gray-green eyes squinting at the pool of blood on the ground, "Unsub just treats these victims as an item, an item he needs."

It was more than two hours before the pale sun rose to the center of the sky, the grayish-yellow clouds enveloped the sky airtightly, and the high air humidity kept the dew on the grass blades from disappearing.

Along with BAU's Hotch, Rossi and Oliver.

Although Morgan will bring himself into the perspective of the criminal to restore the crime process at the crime scene, the ability to vividly imitate emotions like Will is very novel to the police officers of the local police station. Look at that An accompanying police officer already expressed his surprise with his wide eyes.

Will didn't like the look. He turned around and continued to study the footprints in the dirt with a cold expression.

"Oliver, what did you find when you came to the crime scene yesterday." Hotch asked, watching Oliver squatting under the maple tree since he arrived at the scene, looking very enthusiastically with a magnifying glass.

Hannibal paid attention to BAU, and squinted his eyes when he heard the words. It seemed that this agent was bolder than he imagined, and he did not hide his actions.

"This time the unsub removed more muscles, he was in a hurry." Oliver stopped what he was doing and looked back at Hotch.

"As Will said, he just treats the victim as an item, a bit like our gem collector, but this unsub is more indifferent, he doesn't care about the physical condition of the victim."

"He also has a piece, I think, and it's almost finished."

"Will this be his last victim?" Rossi asked.

"In theory, yes, but..."

"He could be suicidal, like Angel Maker," Rossi continued.

"Then we have to speed up and find him before he goes to face God, oh no, before he falls into hell."

Oliver looked complicated. According to his crime, the only way to die in Pennsylvania, where the death penalty has not been abolished, but if he can't be found before he commits suicide, maybe no one will be able to find this bloody murderer among the corpses of the homeless. No one has been able to give the victim's family an account.

"I found something interesting." Oliver continued to study the trunk of the maple tree. There was a dent on the trunk. He guessed that it should be left by the handle of an unsub knife. There were many ants constantly digging between the dent and the ground Back and forth between them, forming a curved thin black line.

The streetlights in the park had been completely broken decades ago, and they didn't even have the ability to create light and shadow in horror movies in this windy forest. Oliver didn't find this little clue with the light of the flashlight last night.

Oliver found a cotton swab for forensics. When the cotton swab head was close to the dent, the ants cleverly avoided the white ball.

In the end, some light yellow sticky matter was left on the cotton swab. Anything that can attract ants must contain sugar.

"Late winter and early spring are not the seasons when maple trees produce maple syrup," Rossi reminds.

"Is this honey?" Oliver frowned suspiciously, and sniffed it closer to confirm his thoughts.

"Honey, meat wings—no, there should be feathers among the unsubs. What does this combination represent?"

"And gods," Hotch added. "Wings are born of man, and they appear in the mythology of cultures all over the world."

“He’s different from the angel maker in that he … doesn’t endorse the myth that God created angels,” Will said. “He uses honey when he uses a knife, and honey is also the tool he uses to complete his work.”

"Wax would be used as a binder," Hotch said. "Beeswax could be a symbolic binder for unsub."

"Wax, wings, mythology." Hannibal said, his voice was low and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "This reminds me of a tragic figure in Greek mythology, Icarus."

Oliver was at a loss, do serial killers now require high culture and high quality?In Greek mythology, he barely knows the confusing relationship between characters and the very famous Iliad and Odyssey.

Rossi patted him on the shoulder and thoughtfully explained to the younger generation, "Icarus is the son of Daedalus. When Daedalus was trapped in Crete, he collected feathers and glued them with honey wax to make wings. Attempting to flee Crete by air with his son Icarus."

He paused, and continued: "But Icarus was proud and free by nature. When he was chasing the sun, the sun melted the wax on his wings, and he fell into the sea and died."

Moths to the flame, that was the only thought in Oliver's mind.He lowered his eyelashes and said, "Unsub is playing the role of Daedalus, so what is he trying to escape with his son? He is too free."

"He has been acting alone, and his son has not escaped from Crete, which belongs to them," Will said.

"We need a basic profile now." Hotch sped up his speech.

"Unsub is a mentally ill patient who has a child but currently lives alone," Oliver said.

"White male, 40 to 50 years old. He hasn't been active for long, probably just out of a psychiatric facility," Hotch said.

"Icarus was the child of Daedalus and his wife on Crete." Hannibal's literary literacy helped a lot in solving such cases, and of course his sensitivity to the same kind as a hunter was also a big help, although It is said that if the agents present knew this, they would never want such a timed Huo Zha/Gong Dan to be by their side, injuring the enemy eight hundred and self-injury three thousand.

"Unsub's son will also be born in a mental hospital. I think such conditions are easy to find."

"Well, I will let our technicians search according to the criteria." After Hotch finished speaking, Oliver took out his mobile phone very consciously and called Garcia.

No kidding, among the three BAU members present, Oliver couldn't let Rossi or Hotch call Queen Garcia.If so, the computer queen will instantly become a trembling and serious employee.

"Garcia, tell me if your precious computer is free now?"

"Of course, without the care of the sweetheart team members, it will almost rust. Tell me, little prince, what do you need from me?"

"Well, can you check the records of patients in mental hospitals throughout Pennsylvania?" Oliver breathed out, his tone much more relaxed.

"It's a piece of cake." Garcia's laughter came from the phone.

"Unsub is a white male, around 50 to [-] years old, who has just left a mental hospital and had a child during his hospitalization." Oliver hesitated for a moment and continued, "This child should also be in the mental hospital where he lives. "

There are quite a few mental illnesses that run in families, and unsub is clearly the case.

"Well, let me take a good look at it. It's not easy to raise a child in a mental hospital." Garcia lost her voice. "Unfortunately, the number of eligible people is zero."

Oliver was on speakerphone, so he was now very surprised to look to Hotch for help.

Hotch frowned, and his already serious face became more cold and hard, "Let Garcia remove the conditions of recent discharge from the hospital and search again, and cross-contrast."

"OK, sir." Garcia replied in a serious tone after hearing Hotch's voice.

Hotch raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Oliver with his eyes, am I that scary?

Oliver stared at those brown eyes for a moment in a daze, no matter how serious Aaron's face was, those eyes were always as gentle as amber.

The criminals who were scared off by Hotch's eyes would definitely press his shoulders impulsively to shake Oliver awake, and that's not how beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Oliver, who came back to his senses, spread his hands, expressing that he couldn't help.

"Sir, I have found a qualified target."

"Daniel Brook, 47 years old, was sent to the Pennsylvania State Mental Hospital by his family at the age of 23. At the age of 29, he was charged with rape/female rape. The victim was the daughter of the attending doctor of the mental hospital. The judge sentenced Brook to 15 years in prison, but Because of his mental problems, he continued to receive three years of treatment in a mental hospital before starting to serve his sentence after he basically recovered."

"He got out of prison six months ago."

Most mental illnesses can only be alleviated but not cured, and this Mr. Brook has not been cured after staying in a mental hospital for six years. His strong/feminine behavior shows that his condition is getting worse. How could he be treated for three years? Just basically recover?

But thinking of the identity of the victim, this doubt is easily solved. It is not difficult for a doctor in charge of a mental hospital to do some small tricks on the medical records.

It can be seen how bad Brook's mental state was after he was released from prison.

"Is there any information about his son?"

"Dean Brook, 18 years old, his mother Luna's family believes in Catholicism, so even if she was pregnant by a rape/female, she did not choose to have an abortion in order to follow the dogma. But this child is as troubled as his father, and Dean also suffers from He has a hereditary mental illness, and he spent the past 18 years of his life in a hospital with high walls and iron nets."

"Check Daniel's credit card records," Hotch said.

"No problem, his credit card's recent purchases were all in Pennsylvania, and he bought some fishing gear and beeswax, a strange combination." Garcia couldn't help complaining,

"His records show that he has borrowed books from the library many times in recent months. I didn't expect such a person to love learning so much. The library's electronic archives show that he borrowed books related to mythology and the human body.
